...Rome's most modern newspaper plant, the well-oiled whir of the new Czech presses could not drown the hollow clunk of the empty cash register. L'Unità, the free world's biggest Communist newspaper and second biggest daily in Italy (after Milan's conservative Corriere della Sera), was as deep...
Pork & Soccer. Aspiring borrowers lined up outside Graham's hotel suite for four days straight, displayed every conceivable kind of sample, from homemade shoes to bedsprings. Best candidates: a bicycle framemaker with only $700 in cash but potential orders totaling $10,000; a group of young leather workers ready to turn out soccer balls by the hundreds as soon as they can get the cash; a young hog farmer with a growing surplus big enough to start a cannery.

But with productive capacity vastly greater than Italy's consumer market, Snia Viscosa had to export or topple...

Better routing, with Civil Aeronautics Board help, could then boost feeder traffic, although many lines will still need subsidies for years to come. Even so, few feeders can raise the cash to buy the Fokker. Of 35 firm F-27 orders, says Bonanza Air Lines' Executive Vice President G. Robert Henry, only nine have been completely financed. Fairchild has taken the remaining orders largely "on good faith." The feeders would also like to buy France's speedy (500 m.p.h.) Caravelle...
